How can I make a tab bar that will switch to other tabs when the page is scrolled?

Topic summary

Goal: A newcomer to Shopify wants a tab bar that shows content on click and also advances/shows subsequent tabs automatically as the page is scrolled.

Feasibility: This behavior isn’t a default Shopify theme section. One response states it would require custom development or hiring a developer to implement.

Considerations: Another contributor says it’s technically possible with custom code but advises against it due to poor user experience (UX—how usable and pleasant the interface feels). Automatically switching tabs on scroll may confuse users or hinder navigation.

Artifacts: No code samples, images, or step-by-step instructions were provided.

Status/Outcome: No ready-made solution or consensus provided. The thread implies two paths: commission custom coding or reconsider the interaction pattern for better UX. The discussion remains open/unresolved.

Hi everyone, I’m new to shopify, so I apologize for any stupid or obvious questions right away. I’m just getting into this platform.

I need to have a tab bar on the page, which when you click on one of the tabs shows a tab with information and I need this tab bar to show the next tabs when the page is scrolled. Thank you for your help.

Hi @vladdusenkoo

No worries, all questions are welcome here. Based on what you described, this is not a default section. Unfortunately, you will need to hire someone to write this code for you.

It is theoretically possible with custom code. But in reality, nobody would do that because it would not be a good user experience.
